Get ready for the model purge

Is there something unique about hugging face that the models cannot be hosted elsewhere? I see open source as more important to Nvidia than anyone else because it sells hardware. The services’ motivations are only partially aligned with Nvidia.

I think it’s mainly just the huge amount of storage. Huggingface has been burning venture capital money for the insane among of storage space they need, afaik

I’ve never understood why they don’t seed torrents for those huge files. So much money on bandwidth that they just don’t need to spend.
Replying to @Serinus@lemmy.world
Because the authors may want to take down their models or change the datasets after the fact probably.
Not that it removes from users computers, but at least the primary source can be made unavailable at will

Then remove or update the torrent link, just like any other link.
